Honestly, this spot is amazing. You get the chance to see the beautiful sunset, a nice cold beer, delicious food and an amazing service.
Fiorela is amazing, she attended us this afternoon and she made our day. I will definitely recommend my friends to come by this gorgeous corner <3 Can’t wait to come back

Good cucumber salad but the chicken was dry and no free refills on the watery and 3/4 full of ice (tiny cup of) fountain coke. This place looks a lot better than it is. My advice is a skip, go to Hawksmoor instead (like we should have done).

Such a pleasure spending time here — the perfect place to sit down and have meaningful conversations. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the dishes are truly delicious. You can really taste that a lot of thought and care went into creating the menu.

I would highly recommend visiting. The only small downside is that the prices are relatively high, although the overall experience and quality are excellent.
